The Vaping Epidemic

[Bogertophis]

I disagree to a point. I believe that if there is a substance that is sold that is addictive and harmful the people who sell it should be required by law to put aside a percentage of the sales to help deal with the fall out from selling said product.

Nice idea but that's putting a great deal of trust in the ethics of those who are so profit-motivated that they truly don't care about your health. That's why we have class-
action lawsuits. It's also very hard to predict the effects of many products...there's the human factor involved...like people who decide on alternative uses for otherwise
useful products (-huffing paint comes to mind). Anyway it's a challenge to prove that the manufacturers & sellers "knew" what they actually knew...look how long "big
tobacco" companies avoided paying settlements...or big oil companies whose research on air pollution was swept under their rug. Seems like the original purpose to vape
was promoted (falsely) as a way for smokers to actually quit. Wink wink... It's not being used that way most of the time, it's just another addiction, thanks to the many
promoters making it look "cool" & adding flavors (& who knows what?) to hook those younger & unwary...it's just a repeat of the cigarette playbook.
